    Study Notes

    Logic and Statements

    • Statement: A declarative that can be classified as true or false.
    • Tautology: A statement that is unconditionally true, irrespective of the truth values of its components.
    • Contradiction: A statement that is inherently false in all scenarios.
    • Contingency: A statement that is neither a tautology nor a contradiction.

    Mathematical Concepts

    • Predicate: A declarative sentence whose truth value is dependent on one or more variables.
    • Counterexample: Illustrates the falsity of a statement by providing an example where the statement does not hold.

    Number Properties

    • Even Number: Defined as an integer n for which there exists an integer k such that n = 2k.
    • Odd Number: Defined as an integer n for which there exists an integer k such that n = 2k + 1.

    Divisibility

    • Divides: An expression a|b denotes that there exists an integer k so that a * k = b.
    • Rational Number: An expression x is rational if it can be expressed as a/b where a, b are integers and b ≠ 0.

    Set Theory

    • Set: A collection of distinct objects, referred to as elements.
    • Subset: Set A is a subset of set S if all elements of A are contained within S.
    • Empty Set (∅): A set that contains no elements.

    Functions

    • Function: A well-defined rule assigning each element in set X to a single element in set Y.
    • Domain: The set X from which the function f is defined.
    • Codomain: The set Y, indicating the possible outputs of function f.
    • One-to-one (Injective): A function where distinct elements in X map to distinct elements in Y.
    • Onto (Surjective): A function where every element in Y corresponds to at least one element in X.
    • One-to-one Correspondence (Bijective): A function that is both injective and surjective.
    • Inverse of f: For an injective function f from X to Y, f⁻¹ maps elements from the range back to X.

    Relations

    • Relation: A subset of the Cartesian product S x S defining relationships between elements.
    • Equivalence Relation: A relation that satisfies reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity.

    Mathematical Principles

    • Principle of Mathematical Induction: To prove a statement P(n) for all natural numbers n, verify the base case and that P(k) implies P(k+1).
    • Well Ordered Principle: Every nonempty subset of natural numbers has a least element.
    • Pigeonhole Principle: If there are more pigeons than holes, at least one hole must contain more than one pigeon.

    Cardinality

    • n-to-one Function: In finite sets X and Y, a function f is n-to-one if each output in Y has exactly n pre-images in X.
